About connecting the fans to a phone charger

I want to connect the fans to an old Nokia charger (for a pc grow box),
but I'm now sure if it has enough power for 2 fans
These are the charger's details:
INPUT: AC: 100-240V/50-60Hz/65mA
OUTPUT: DC 5V/350mA
It will be enough for a 12v fans?

Thanks

no.

that specifically says DC-5V/350 mA
that is 5 volts at 350 mAmps.

a 12 volt fan needs 12 volts.
check the fan for a label, it will say what the draw is.

i use those for PC fans though...

as above, once you have matched the volts

give consideration to the milliamp's (mAmps) too

1000 milliamps = 1 amp, with mA you don't have to be spot on but close is good

1x charger to each fan is good ..gives you more control

good luck
